httpd could not be started
I'm entirely new to FreeBSD, but have a fair amount of Linux experience. I installed FreeBSD 6.0 (Production Release) on an oldish i386 system. During the install, I asked to install ALL. The install went flawlessly. I need Apache on this system for some software development, so I followed these instructions I found at: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports-using.html : # pkg_add -r cvsup-without-gui # cvsup -L 2 -h cvsup.FreeBSD.org /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile # cd /usr/ports/www/apache13 # make # make install Everything to this point went smoothly! I edited /usr/local/etc/apache/httpd.conf ONLY to set the ServerName to the IP address of the machine. However, when I try to start apache I get: #/usr/local/sbin/apachectl start /usr/local/sbin/apachectl start: httpd could not be started I can't start apache. Here's a configtest: #/usr/local/sbin/apachectl configtest Syntax OK Apache also won't start if I bypass the apachectl script and start it directly. However it doesn't report any errors either: # /usr/local/sbin/httpd # Everything up above is with a completely fresh install of FreeBSD 6. I didn't mess around with anything on the system. I followed the above steps exactly. (As I side note, I've struggled with this for two days, and have installed FreeBSD at least 6 times trying differnet things. I can't get Apache to start. On previous installs, I tried using apache22 with the same results.) Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get ANY version of Apache running on a new install of FreeBSD 6?

#/usr/local/sbin/apachectl start /usr/local/sbin/apachectl start: httpd could not be started Apache also won't start if I bypass the apachectl script and start it directly. However it doesn't report any errors either: Some ideas, I may be off base here: 1. Is there anything being written to the error_log file? 2. Can you start Apache with the -F argument to make it stay in the foreground? Any output there?

However, when I try to start apache I get: #/usr/local/sbin/apachectl start /usr/local/sbin/apachectl start: httpd could not be started You need to look for error messages in at least two places. One would be the error_log file for apache which may be in: /var/log/httpd-error.log if you did everything in the default way. The other would be the system error log file which is: /var/log/messages again, if you are using defaults. One of those may have a message telling you why it could not be started. Error messages get put in those places because then they are saved for you to check up on later if needed - like the present situation. Generally httpd-error.log will contain error messages for things that go wrong while Apache is running. Messages concerning problems that make it unable to start will most often go in to the system error log - /var/log/messages. If there are no error messages in those files at about the time apache is starting up, then you may need to try and run Apache interactively. jerry I can't start apache.
